While this is technically true, its very debatable if it actually changes anything. The processing cpumem-applet does is very tiny anyways, and since the display is on, it consumes massive amounts of energy, X.org consumes lots of CPU etc anyways.

I'll put it to TODO list however and on my summer holiday I'll try my best to clear the TODOs in my projects.
